Goal

When To Use The GL Balances Corruption Fix Script GLBALFIX.

The GL Balances Corruption Fix script was created by development to allow customers to safely detect and/or fix corrupt actual balance data in their gl_balances table.

This uses the data in the posted journal lines to rebuild the balances with the correct amounts, therefore this is only to be used when the posted journal lines are correct and accurate.

There are three versions of the script available.

The original version which works for version 11.5.1 through 11.5.10 CU2 of applications.

A version that will work on release 11.5.1 to 11.5.10 CU2 for both standard and Average Daily balances.

A release 12 version for both standard and Average Daily balances, that will work for releases R12.0, R12.1 and R12.2.

The script is not intended to diagnose the cause of the corruption. Root cause analysis should be done prior to running this script or take a backup of gl_balances to enable root cause analysis to be done after running the script.
